Water Absorption Test

Water Absorption Testing

PJL Laboratories also offers water absorption testing on asbestos containing materials to determine whether the material is licensed (i.e Asbestos insulation board) or non-licensed (i.e. Asbestos Cement). This is used to determine how a material is treated by a removal contractor or how it is maintained by the duty holder of the property.

Should a water absorption test be required a sample with a minimum size of 3cm x 3cm (9cm2) will be required.
